A resolution voicing support for Jon Waters, who was recently dismissed as director of The Ohio State University marching band, will be on the agenda of the next meeting of Elmore Village Council.

Rick Claar, a member of council, said the resolution will be presented to council at its Aug. 11 meeting.

Waters, a native of Elmore and a graduate of Woodmore High School, was fired from the director’s position after a two-month investigation by the Office of University Compliance found “serious cultural issues and an environment conducive to sexual harassment within the marching band.”

A sponsor of a bill in the state legislature to repeal Common Core educational standards that are set to be implemented in Ohio schools said his bill will get several hearings this month and, if passed, will allow parents and local school boards to have more say in designing standards.

House Speaker Pro Tem Matt Huffman (R- Lima) said HB 597 is an improvement over a similar bill in 2013 that didn’t offer standards to replace the Common Core standards adopted by the Ohio Department of Education in 2010.
